Rule 2186/0 states "This is the only way to win the game, rules to the
contrary notwithstanding." However, rule 2186/0, being less powerful
than rule 101, cannot take precedence over it, nor modify a
substantive aspect of it; the ability to take non-regulated actions by
announcement is clearly a substantive aspect of rule 101 (because part
(ii) talks specifically about non-regulated actions, and therefore the
ability or otherwise to take non-regulated actions is clearly an
aspect that affects the operation of rule 101; to expand on this, rule
101 allows a certain set of actions to be performed, and rule 2186/0
attempts to modify this set, but fails because it has a lower
precedence), so given that winning the game by announcement is not
regulated, rule 2186/0 cannot override it.
}
Rule 2186/0 cannot regulate actions because it is too low-powered. Rule
101 allows me to perform unregulated actions.
